Until you have held a tiny puppy
in your arms as it kisses your face
with slobbery puppy breath and
felt their love,

Until you have held an injured or
severely ill dog in your arms and
felt their pain,

Until you have looked into the eyes
of a tired aging senior dog that has
been given away, and
felt their wisdom,

And until you have seen and
understood the look in your
own dogs eyes that tell you their
time on earth with you is over....and
you humanely let them go,
You will never understand the life of
a Rescuer.

We find beauty in the most
incomprehensible places and the
otherwise homely faces.

It’s our gift to see beyond the dirt,
terror, sadness and defeat and find
the true soul that lies within.

We are Rescue.....

Our Adoption Process

In order to encourage folks to rescue homeless Orphans, we try to make the rescue experience as non-invasive and pleasant as possible.

First, an application is completed prior to meeting any of our orphans. Since we do not have a shelter, it's important to
be able to pre-qualify folks that will be making appointments with fosters, to meet any of our orphans.

We do a vet check, to verify all current or previous dogs are up to date on vaccines and are either spayed or neutered. We may
also contact references listed on the application when there is no previous vet information, or where more information is needed.

We'll then contact you to arrange a home visit, which is merely an opportunity to ask and answer any questions regarding our
process. Since most of our orphans have already been in a situation that was not right for them, we want to do whatever it
takes to allow them to succeed. It is not our intent to set a dog or a family up for failure.

Renters will need to provide your landlords information to confirm that dogs are allowed and to ask about breed and size
limit restrictions.

Our Adoptable Orphans

Once we take a dog into our rescue, they are completely vetted, which includes their spay or neuter, all vaccines are
brought current, heartworm tested, and placed on heartworm and flea/tick preventative, and finally they are microchipped.
